I kept hitting the same five AStarGrid2D mistakes in Godot, so I wrote the reference I wanted — and built an interactive sandbox for the gotchas you have to *see*: corner-cutting across diagonal modes, weighted routing, and the jumping_enabled trap that ignores your weights.
Every claim checked against the docs and the C++ source, 4.0→4.7.
New blog post: The Secret Life of Blocks: Why Minecraft Mobs Aren't Always Just Blockheads
Ever wondered why Minecraft mobs sometimes seem utterly clueless, or why your automated farm occasionally grinds to a halt? It all comes down to the surprisingly complex world of pathfinding in a game built of ever-generating blocks.

Some awesome Defold extensions from
@selimanac have been updated 🧡
🔍 Graph Pathfinder and A* for pathfinding
💥 DAABBCC and DAABBCC3D for high-performance AABB collision handling
Each one is fast, maintained, and well documented - exactly the kind of tools we love to see in the Defold community!

Some _very_ early algorithm concept/pre-viz sketches/explorations for the Tron Legacy (2010) intro sequence. They informed another concept/approach in which we applied a similar algorithm to progressively trace out edges of an initially invisible and super detailed 3D city mesh. This required a lot of effort to retopologize the (huge) geometry supplied and creating a multi-res navigation graph to prioritize long/major edges over shorter ones, filter out undesired edges/directions, thereby creating a visual reveal in which the agents progressed from tracing out super low-res boxes to high-res architectural features... Eventually, both of these prototypes weren't used though, and the director & team opted for a more stripped down solution with much fewer agents/traces, created in Houdini...
